If you want to use the Tombow markers to watercolor you need to use
water color paper.

The Peel Off sticker I used is the Elizabeth Craft Designs 0437 Leaves. for the background I used the Bronze Shimmer Sheetz (SS-0215), the blending solution and a Spellbinders M-Bossability (EL-015)"

Cathy made these earrings from Shimmer Sheetz, a die and embossing folder. Beautiful!

That's it for tonight; I am going to work hard to turn in early because we leave tomorrow at 7 a.m. for an 11:00 a.m. funeral service in Illwaco. Be sure to stop into the store if you want to see some 'fun' going on tomorrow afternoon because John Petersen is teaching another one of his terrific classes.

If you still haven't signed up for one of Helene's Magenta classes on Monday (afternoon and evening), you might want to call the store (360.357.6820) to check if there is still an opening. One of the classes works with wood and alcohol inks; the other class works with new stencil designs from Magenta. See an earlier blog post about the classes.

Night!

P.S. I just discovered (duh!) that you can enter a search word, phrase or name in the upper left of the blog screen (after the orange "B"), and it will bring up the blog posts with that reference.
